Never overload electrical outlets. Coffee makers, toasters and electrical frying pans are high users of electricity. Do not plug more than one such appliance into an outlet. When circuits become overloaded, they get hot and could cause a short or fire. When appliances are not being used, unplug them. Do not leave detachable appliance cords plugged into the outlet when it is not plugged into the appliance.

To prevent grease fires, keep a lid that is large enough to cover the frying pan near you when cooking. If food or grease ignites, quickly slide the cover over the lid, then turn off the burner. Leave the lid on till the pan completely cools. Do not use water or a portable fire extinguisher on a grease fire, it could splatter and the fire could spread.

To prevent oven fires, close the door and turn off the heat. If the flames do not go out, call 9-1-1.
